Barack Obama has never denied knowing the former (corrupt) governor of Illinois; since Mr. Obama was an Illinois state senator when Mr. Blagojevich was in office, he would certainly have met the governor at political events. But contrary to myths found on conservative websites, Mr. Obama was never close friends with Mr. Blagojevich, and there is no evidence they spent much time with each other. There is an internet myth that says Mr. Obama claimed he never met the governor, or in some versions, only met him once. That statement is false: the president has never claimed he didn't know who Rod Blagojevich was, nor did he ever say he only met the governor once. In fact, it was Mr. Obama (then a senator) who worked on some of the ethics legislation that caused problems for Mr. Blagojevich.
